After a look at the obvious places I DNF,
Looking at the other activity I guess it’s been muggled

Tried extensively but no success. Thinking it's been moved again, maybe put somewhere that's less likely for muggles to find by accident?
Apologies for the delay with this cache. I have replaced the cache after it went walkabouts. It is now good to go
Not far from home, but a most frustrating cache - I have ducked in and out over the last couple of months to find this cache, but have been constantly interrupted.
I headed out for an adventure with Caveman 9614 and decided that some help with this challenge could be handy. Had lots of time, there is lots of party rubbish, and we had no success so we started the day with a DNF.
I will be back.
Thanks for the hunt.

Looks like this has gone walkabouts. I am disabling until I am able to check it out
So many remnants of birthday parties at GZ. Not willing to touch anything. On to the next one
I have come past here a few times in the past few weeks to grab this one and the park has always been inhabited my muggles. Not the case today, after a short search I had the cache in hand. Tftc
Being a Friday morning, the park was very quiet just one family in the distance. After careful casing of area, we could spot what we needed and then were able from its hiding hole. That was the easy bit. I think the log paper is stuck in with super glue
With aTOTT, we finally managed to retrieve the log and added our name.
Curiously we are the only signature on the log sheet.
Thanks

There were no muggles in sight when I stopped and so I headed to where the GPS indicated and before I could start searching a couple of Energex trucks pulled up and the adjacent shelter was filled by workmen having lunch. I searched discretely until I spotted the cache and then had to work out how to retrieve it without drawing attention. Enough said that I managed it and replaced it without a glance from the workmen.

Out for a day of caching fun with nikid1. After a short search nikid1 made the find here as well, looks like I picked a good geocaching buddy.

Lived near when I first moved to BN about 20 years ago. The area has changed a bit.
Bird visited maybe looking for food but he left empty handed.

Putting the log sheet back in was like trying to fit a sleeping bag back in its case!
My pen didn't work right so it's just signed as M3 (red ink) cause that's all the poor thing could manage

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC Subasteve87 ¥283 days. #1804 Finds.
A few traditional this cold evening.
Have been past here a couple of times before, always busy. Not tonight.
The cache was IPS, struggled to get the log out, got to use the geotools from the car.
As suggested in the description I hid the cache a bit better to ensure that it does not go missing
Thank you for this one

Search got interrupted by Muggles wanting to use the area for a picnic. Will come back to try and find another day.
At last, at last. This is such a popular park!
The first time I was here, there was a and a child at GZ so I took a walk through the lovely park and took several photos. I discovered there were several entries to the park and that there was something for everyone to enjoy here.
On returning after my through the were still there, so I left.
Came back with Geofriends a week or so later and the park was full of people so we left.
Third time lucky, I swung by on the off chance and woo hoo the park was deserted.
I quickly went to GZ and started my search.
From the comments I gleaned that you had to reach for it, so with that factored in I discounted my first thoughts and concentrated on areas where it could be possible to reach. I felt if I could at least see it, I'd better able to know if I could reach it.
My A-ha moment came and yes, it could be reached. I was one happy cacher to sign this, my #700 find.
Replaced as found.

Great cache.
Tiny! Had a quick look while people were picnicking, but couldn’t see it. Came back on dusk and found it quickly when we had the place to ourselves!
Finally got to get up to this part of the woods with friends and so lucky to have had a reasonably quick find here. Thanks for replacing CO.

Out with geofriends caching after appointments. Spied it from the ground was just tall enough to reach it.

After an early urologist appointment at Redlands, we are headed into the Valley for an early afternoon optometrist appointment, so some caching to fill in the time is in order.
Nice to see this had been replaced and it's now a Smiley on our map! Only passing Muggles today - maybe because of the passing showers.

Finally had a chance to return and even saw the cache this time, but it was just as several families arrived for the park. Next time!
Thanks for the fun find! We often frequent this park so it was fun to chase one locally!
After reaching GZ, Mrs Krispy Kreme spotted it straight away! as others have stated the log is almost impossible to remove after numerous try’s! So photo log it is
We cut up our fingers trying to get that tiny log out of there a good challenge and an exciting find- we are yet to get that log out
Second visit in the last couple of weeks but the first chance to hunt due to the popularity of the spot during the holidays! TFTC
Came to check on cache and found that it went MIA. The cache has been replaced and is good to go
Looked everywhere high and low but couldn’t find. May have a look next time we are at the park.
Had a good search under the table and benches but now I've left and am reviewing logs I should have been looking up high! Next time!
I am down from Toowoomba for a few days.
Today is day 3 of caching and again, I am out and about with IolantheK. [^]
We had a few on our hit list for today. [^]
We soon found this cache, signed our names and returned it to where we found it. [^]
Now onto the next cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Out and about again with Brother Colin.
Today we headed out to Seven Hills, as that's where we both had caches to gather. I saw that this one gets quite a few DNFs so we were prepared for a long search, but BC made the find within a few seconds! TFTC, ScubaSteve87

Had a good look but couldn’t find it! We’re regulars at this park so will try again next time.
It took a bit of searching, but it’s a perfect day for caching, so what does it matter. Nice hide! It was a bit hard to remove the log. TFTC
We came to find your cache, ScubaSteve87, on our geocaching day around the Bulimba area to clear up a few missing smileys.
Unfortunately we could not locate a cache today despite an extended 25 minute search, which we ended at 12:36 PM on October 10, 2018. TFTC.

Shouldnt have taken that long to find but really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for thr find!
Took a little bit longer than expected to extract log from cache however was worth it! TFTC!
The clues from other cachers were helpful. Found it after a few mins. Don't have anything to get the log out so didn't sign it. TFTC
11/7/18 Meeting a friend for brunch and as I was a little early I decided to grab some caches first. This was find 3 for the morning. After a search down low I decided to try higher up. Whilst on a perch someone with their dog stopped near by. I tried to look as inconspicuous as possible, staying in my position, looking through previous logs. As I was about to move on I spotted something shiny and realised that was what I was after. Woohoo!! Like others it was difficult to get the log so back to the car for tweezers, signed the log and returned safely. TFTC
Some time to kill today between work sessions so lets convert some green dots into smileys shall we. Onto another one of yours Scuba Steve.
This one took a lot longer then it should have. I had an idea of what I was looking for (albeit I was wrong) and some like hiding spots (also wrong).
Having no time restraints, I sat down and enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility of the empty park before giving it one more crack and voila, there she was.
Given the previous logs about council being here a lot, you would have thought that they could have spent some effort and time into cleaning the covers, but thats another issue..
Thanks Steve, onto your third and final one to get the trifecta. Smiley #418

Finally I can cross this one off. I have driven past so many times and just kept driving because there’s so many muggles here. Other times I’ve stopped for a look but, mindful of the kids playing nearby and what their mothers would think of a single old guy loitering, haven’t searched much. Finally I resorted to a hint from the CO and chanced on a day when there weren’t many people here and finally found it. Removing the log was another matter but I got my name on the log in the end. Thanks for the challenge. This has been one of my closest unfound to home for a while.
Just on dusk and I was keen to look at this park, as it’s quite popular and less likely to be bothered by muggles this late in the day. But things don’t always turn out the way you think they will. A muggle couple with a little boy wandered past and asked what were doing. I said geocaching and next thing you know the male muggle had stepped on a perch and immediately plucked out the cache
Didn’t find was difficult. Plus we were on a time crunch, maybe we will come back and try again later.

Searched and Searched. The park was an absolute mess after obvious New Years parties which is a shame. We will be back to try again once someone else has found it.

Apologies for the delay in returning this cache. The cache has been moved slightly due to constant muggling. The cache is now up and running
I do apologise for the delay in returning cache due to being crazy busy at work should be able to return tomorrow
Just checked on this cache and it seems to have gone walkabouts. Will replace once council workers are finished near GZ
Out for a few hours before work again. Getting the numbers of for a milestone hike in a few days.
I arrived to a nice empty park. Unfortunately school was due out soon. I located the cache quite quickly. Sadly the log put up way too good a fight. Not even my tweezers would persuade it to come out.
I wrestled for a while, but then cars started to arrive and the park was going to be muggle central. I replaced the container without my name in the log.
Hopefully the CO is easy going. I will send a picture as proof of my find. [B)]
